Details

Profumo

Perfume

The nose is relatively discreet at first, with notes of beautifully ripe yellow fruit. Swirling in the glass goes on to reveal a complex aromatic palette of white and yellow fruit (grapefruit, vineyard peach, apricot, citron),white flowers (lime blossom), spices (fresh ginger) and smoky nuances.

Colore

Color

Straw-yellow colour with green highlights.

Gusto

Taste

This wine starts out crisp and delicious on the palate demonstrating a wonderful balance between richness and freshness. The middle palate is rich and displays a lovely velvety texture, culminating in a very long after taste that is both fresh and aromatically complex.

Longevity:

From this winery
Situato nel cuore della denominazione di Pessac-Léognan, il castello Smith Haut Lafite è una classe cruciale di Graves, soprannominato "il più Graves dei Graves" per Bernard Ginestet, perché ha una quantità importantissima di tombe nel suolo. I 67 ettari ben situati in alto della denominazione hanno elaborato i vini bianchi e rossi di notorietà internazionale indiscutibile. Questo successo si deve sopratutto all'arrivo di Firenze e Daniel Cathiard che sono proprietari dello château del novembre 1990. Coppia appassionata dal vino, questi campioni di sci, riconvertiti con brio nella viticoltura che rispetta l'ambiente. Read more
